Here is a detail of the entrance - it's just a dirt road that most likely will not have a rope strung across it.

MSN is guessing 31mph for Tuesday - my experience with their forecasts says that 31 is actually going to be more like 40+mph. So I concur with Art - Tuesday is meh, good story with a limp or a stutter. Wednesday 17mph - more like 20 something but manageable. I will be passing on Tuesday and showing up Wednesday.

I am looking out my office window and the wind seems to be blowing from the north. which makes for choppy conditions in the montgomery field because the wind blows through town first. so if you have depower I would plan on flying that. I will be there at about 3pm, maybe sooner. I got a hot date with the wife tonight so I will be leaving at about 5:30-6.

If I remember I will bring some homebrew so those who dont want to fly can enjoy the sunshine and a tasty beverage.
